Garlic Mashed Potatoes With Corn

lazyme's Note:

This is great as a side with grilled steaks. It is very rich, so we don't have it often and save it for special occasions.

These mashed potatoes have a lot of different flavors. They go well together. I love the corn in them. But somehow I think I would have prefered to brown the onion, garlic, corn in butter instead of olive oil. Cause in the mashed potatoes I tasted the olive oil. Butter would taste better. I used frozen corn, that I thawed and steamed. Thanks lazyme :) Made for Photo tag game
